Chapter 114Luna’s POVSlowly, I’d felt a pull back toward the light, but I wasn't sure if I’d even wanted to let go of the darkness anymore. I’d felt at peace for the first time in a long time for the period when I’d been sucked into the darkness.Just peace and quiet, nothing more.Yet, the weird pull into the light tugged at me with such a vengeance that the darkness that’d held on to me couldn’t withstand any longer. In the moments that followed briefly after the pull had succeeded in wiping out the darkness, I’d began to get aware of my immediate surroundings.I felt the area around where I was laying and it’d felt much softer than the hard floor I’d remembered being sprawled across helplessly earlier on. That’d made me very curious as to where I was, and if I’d finally lured Alpha Fleki to my side with the stunt I’d just pulled.Immediately, at the thought of that, my eyes flew open.But I’d shut them back that same instant as soon as they failed to adjust to the light because o
Fleki’s POVI wanted more.No, needed.I needed more of her. Recently, all I could think about was Lustre and her mesmerizing beauty that’d been tattooed in my memory against my will. I had no idea why she’d suddenly taken precedence over my thoughts no matter where I was, but unlike before, I chose not to fight it off.Why? Because of how refreshing it’d felt when I subconsciously let thoughts of her and only her fill my mind.I’d just seen her at dinner and I didn't know when my lingering gaze on her gorgeous curves as she moved about the dining had ushered me into a daze that’d been packed with a ton of memories of her. It’d surprised me that the thoughts that my mind had wandered toward had had nothing to do with our countless sexual encounters over the past few months.Instead, I’d dwelt solely on moments such as the first time I’d seen her walk toward me in a strikingly beautiful dress that’d made her look like an ethereal being. How her uniquely gorgeous blue hair had cascaded
Lustre’s POVThe sound of Miimii’s light snores filled our chambers as I flipped through the pages of a wrinkled old copy of a compilation of children werewolf folklores. My eyes skimmed over the pages and occasionally some lines had brought a childish grin to my face as I enjoyed the countless tales of the different people’s views on the how the very first werewolves had lived.For about half an hour, I’d reading instead of getting some rest before I was called on for dinner duty. However, the moment I’d yawned and decided that after I’d gone through the next couple of pages I’d shut it and get some rest, I heard an inconsistent loud rap on the door that signaled that I’d probably not be getting any soon.I murmured at the fact that my quiet time had been disturbed as I dropped the book on my bed and walked toward the door. I opened it and as I’d predicted I was met with a guard who’d most likely be calling for me or Miimii.And chances were, it’d be me.“Are you Lustre?” He’d asked
Reid’s POVI couldn't take it any longer. Miimii’s sudden change in her usual approach and attitude toward me was killing me and making my insides churn like they’d been set on fire, one that’d been destined to burn indefinitely as long as this unfortunate situation and the distance between us lingered.It’d kept eating me out that she’d withdrawn from me because of how I’d kept on pushing her away and not because of the countless things I believed that I’d done wrong. That meant that she’d been honoring her wishes, and if I hadn't pushed her away so often, she might’ve still been willing to be with me.I needed to see her again, before I lost my fucking mind.I abruptly rose to my feet and headed toward my door with a renewed determination to get Miimii back no what it’d take to do so. I drew open the doors of my chambers and I looked around for a guard to call so that I could send for her, at least I still had a reasonable excuse to request her presence that wouldn't seem odd.“You
Miimii’s POV“Hey, look here,” I used my palms to tilt his head that’d been hanging low in shame toward me in one swift gesture.“I want you to listen to me, and to so very carefully” His eyes didn't meet mine still but I knew that I’d soon rid him of the guilt he felt.“Can you do that for me Reid?” I asked again.“Hmm?” He muttered almost unintelligible.“Listen good?” I replied and he nodded slowly as though he was scared of what my next words would be.Didn't he read meaning into my affectionate gesture of holding up his face? This was why our communication had always had hiccups, he read more into things that mattered much less.“Every single thing I told you the last time you’d confessed that you were too burdened with sin to be good enough for me still stands,” I paused for a bit and allowed what I’d said to sink in.As I’d expected, his eyes rose to meet mine finally. Even though they looked hesitant and heavy laden, I knew that as I spoke more and reassured him, they’d lighte
Fleki’s POVAn overwhelming surge of emotion that I couldn't wrap my head around enveloped me whenever my mind drifted to Lustre of late. I’d been running from emotions all my life, I’d avoided it like it was the origin of the fucking plague, I’d sworn myself off anything that’d make way for emotions such as this, I’d put every single damned wall high up just to avoid emotions like this.So how? When? Where? Did all of these emotions that now threatened to ruin me manage to emerge from? I had no clue what the answer to any of those questions were but they’d been weighing on me heavily for the longest time and I’d felt the need to address them once and for all. While It’d be a fucking huge lie to out rightly state that I hated them, there's one thing I was certain of when it came to them.They scared me.I’d gone against the most powerful werwolves in all of Silvercrest and beyond, I’d gone horn to horn with monsters of the wild that giants would cower at the sight of, I’d basked in t
Fleki’s POVAfter I’d enjoyed a refreshing bathe moments following the completion of my evening training session, I’d decided that it seemed like a lovely day to take a walk around hell’s hall because I couldn't remember when last I’d indulged in that after how incredibly chaotic the last month had turned out to be.I pulled on a casual shirt and I pulled on a pair of simple pants before I ruffled my wet hair and slicked it to the side as I usually did when I felt too lazy to comb through the tight little curls that formed after a cold shower. In no time, I was ready to head out for a refreshing walk, and I hoped that it’d be exactly what I needed to clear my head.I stepped out of my chambers and I decided to walk toward the gardens where I could bask in the welcome feeling of being amongst nature. Even though it was unlike me, I hummed lowly on my way there and I even waved at maids and guards as they bowed while I walked through the hallways when normally I’d just ignore them or sh
Fleki’s POV“Sit, breathe...” I moved Reid to take a seat at my study desk by holding onto his shoulders.Immediately he’d taken his seat, I turned to Lustre and signaled her to leave the room while he drew in sharp breaths. The minute she’d shut the door behind her I turned back to face Reid who looked a bit more level headed.“It's happening, a fucking coup. I've just been notified of a meeting that's been held with all the alphas in Silvercrest in attendance....” He trailed off as he waited for me to figure it out.“All the Alphas, except me. And I'm damn sure it's not coincidence” I began to feel heavily agitated as realization dawned on me.“No, they're still convinced that we're the odd ones out because our pack is made up of rogues and lone wolves that have no business being in Silvercrest” Reid confirmed my exacts thoughts as he spoke.“Those fucking spineless assholes! How dare they!” I cleared everything off of my table in one angry swipe as my anger exploded within me.“The
Lustre’s POVMy heart dipped as I saw Alpha Fleki, the worst possible person that I could’ve bumped into while I was running for my life. “Miimii, please excuse us. I’d like to be alone with Lustre” He told her and my throat went dry immediately.Was it part of his grand scheme to kill me in a locked room were my chances of escape were slimmer?“Okay, Alpha” Miimii responded but her eyes met mine, and I gave her a pleading look so that she wouldn't leave me behind to face death.Still, she bowed and left the room without acknowledging my subtle cries for help.I’d wanted to begin my pleas for mercy, but before I could utter a word he’d crashed his lips into mine and pulled me into the tightest embrace I’d ever experienced. Shock had disoriented most parts of my body while Alpha Fleki kissed me senselessly without stopping to breath until my lips felt numb.A while later, he pulled away and cupped my face in his palms and looked into my eyes so longingly that I thought I was hallucina
Miimii’s POVMy hands rubbed Lustre’s hair as I watched her lay still as she had everyday for the past two weeks despite the countless visits from the physician and how much I’d been tending to her. I was almost always with her so I’d barely even had enough time to spend with Reid since we’d officially began our relationship.Yes, Reid had pulled together the sweetest girlfriend proposal after they’d marked their latest victory and regained the respect and fear of all the packs in Silvercrest. I’d never forget how he’d pulled me away at midnight to the rooftop where we’d shared our first kiss.The entire rooftop had been decorated beautifully with several paintings he’d made of me, the fact that he’d put that much effort had brought me to tears even before he popped the question. It took a while for me to regain my composure before we’d shared some wine and a simple meal he’d prepared himself for us.Toward the end of the meal, he’d reached underneath the table and brought out a blank
Chapter 133Fleki’s POVThe whole of Silvercrest has gathered to respect the orders I’d sent out that every person must be present to witness the brutal execution of the assholes that’d dared to go against me. It’d be the event of the century, one that’d go down in the history books as an unforgettable act of vengeance.In the same fashion that I’d been treated when I was being held prisoner in Luca’s palace, I’d hung him and his biggest co-conspirator Luna upside down from iron bars and bound them in silver chains that’d been laced with wolfsbane to burn their flesh and cause them pain till their dying minute.The other bastards that’d teamed up with him either as his advisors or his guards that’d acted as his muscle were lined up on their knees with their necks bound in the same wolfsbane laced chains as they waited for their execution as well.I stood on a podium that hovered over everyone that was in attendance in the open field I’d chosen for the execution and looked into the cro
Fleki’s POVThat reminded me of a crucial detail that’d aid my plan to make him pay.Lotus powder, he said?Well, well, well.Lustre hadn’t betrayed me like I’d assumed all this while, I’d sworn on my life to make sure that she met a lowly and horrific death that was fit for a manipulative and lying woman. But instead, I’d just learnt that she’d been willing to put her life on the line for me and she’d even still lied to him about my weakness to save me.While I’d have hated her until I dragged my very last breath, I was still well aware that she didn't owe me enough loyalty to use what might’ve been her last breath to fight against the deadly effects of an overdose on hallucinogens just a she could tell a convincing lie about my weakness.But I’d be eternally grateful to her for doing so now that I knew.The Lotus powder she’d given up was primarily a regenerating agent that made me incredibly weak while it took root in my wolf’s senses. Ultimately, it was meant to make me even stron
Fleki’s POVI’d always been a stranger ro weakness since I’d been bestowed with unimaginable power from the ancestors, so continuously feeling weak and helpless for the past few hours made had drained my spirits more than ever.The worst part was that I couldn't even reach out to my wolf for support because he was even more weaker than I’d been since the powder directly affected him and I was only feeling the after effects of losing the immense strength he usually supplied me with.I watched the conniving idiot Luca pace the dungeon we were in because he couldn't contain his excitement from defeating the most powerful Alpha of his time. My anger that’d formed a rock hard ball in my chest and my throat felt like it’d implode within me and cause me to burst from inside out the more I watched him.Suddenly, I’d began to feel the one thing I’d thought I’d never feel again.My wolf’s power surge.To my utter surprise, my wolf’s powers had began to erupt slowly from within and I felt as it
Fleki’s POVThe darkness that’d clouded my eyes had began to fade slowly, but I secretly wished that I’d remain one with the darkness. I hated the reality I’d be forced to be live through if I actually woke up completely, but my wishes hadn't stopped the darkness from giving way for light to filter in.I’d now fully regained consciousness and all my joints ached like hell and I winced in pain as I struggled to open my eyes. It’d felt like a weight that was double my size was attached to my shoulders and my brain felt incredibly fuzzy. Painfully, I finally forced my eyes open and at first I’d thought that my weakness was making me see things because everything was upside down, but I soon realize that I’d been hung upside down from iron bars and I was bound tightly with chains.Just then, Luca’s face covered my entire view and I almost threw up at the mere sight of him.“Oh, how the mighty hath fallen” He laughed loudly in my face that some bits of his spit had hit my face and made my
Fleki’s POV I halted and flexed my wrist to relive it of the tension it’d held from how I’d jumped right into signing documents just after lifting weights for hours in the training room that’d put a strain on it. After I felt a few bones crack in place, I dived back into signing them while I thought of the busy day ahead. Sadly, I’d been informed by the head matron at breakfast that Lustre was absent from her food serving duties because she was running an important errand. Knowing that she wouldn't be back until much later in the evening, I was a tad disappointed that she’d not be available to ease the after effects of my busy day with her presence.Before I could swing deeper into.thoughts of Lustre, I began to hear voices outside my door that signaled that two people were arguing.“No ma'am, you can’t enter the Alpha’s chambers without being sent for” My personal chamber guard’s voice said in a tone that hinted frustration.Ma'am? Who could it be? “You disrespectful swine, how da
Chapter 128 Lustre’s POVAlpha Luca’s and Luna’s eyes were trained on me as I momentarily froze beside the fallen vase and my heart thumped wickedly as I realized that I’d been caught right when I’d made a decision to return to Alpha Fleki without being spotted. The look on Luna’s face was that of someone that’d been paralyzed with unthinkable shock from seeing me in Alpha Luca’s palace, one that made her neglect covering up her nakedness while her eyes bulged out as they remained fixed on me.Alpha Luca’s shock on the other hand was one that was borne from that fact that I’d been sneaking around, and I could see that his shock was quickly morphing into anger from how his eyes had began to darken as he watched me.But on the plus side, he was still undressed so I knew I had to take my chances to leave before he could manage to cover up.Without thinking for a second longer, I turned on the balls of my feet and began to run like I’d never before, because my life and everything that I
For days, my heart had been facing the gravest turmoil it’d ever been presented with and it always left me confused and unsettled as to how I’d finally still the storm within it without ruining the unbelievably beautiful relationship that had budded between myself and Alpha Fleki. The mission that I’d slaved for and sworn to give my all had finally been completed when I wasn't willing to raise a finger, when I was having the time of my life being adored and respected as a woman should be— and now, I was horribly torn between betraying Alpha Fleki or leaving Alpha Luca in the dark. My heart yearned to remain at Alpha Fleki’s side.But what did my heart know? In my guts I was well aware of the fact that Alpha Luca wouldn't sit idly and give me months to drag on the mission when he’d already grown impatient a number of times, and the last time he’d gone an extra mile to send me a death threat. I knew that if I gave him more reasons to lose sleep over the completion of my mission, he’d
